This question was asked on dpreview today (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1003&thread=36971241), and no-one knows the answer and the poster cannot seem to figure out how to post the question on this forum.

"Anyway, I'm intrigued by Ultimate, but not sure I understand the pricing. So the $19.99/year -- is this a subscription based software product? Or can I get ultimate, and not choose to update for 3 years, at which point I can spend $19.99 for to bring the software up to date? "

Any clarification on how this will be handled Mike?

As far as I know, you have it correct.
He has done it this way for many years with Upgrades on Profile Prism.   
I have to say, in all fairness to you, that based on what Mike has added to Ultimate in the past three months; Tone Targeted Sharpening, HDR, Fill algorithms that actually work, Auto paper feed size that can judge the paper size you need from your roll paper based on the prints in the queue, and more, a person would be lacking good judgment to skip a year, for the price of 19.95.

It's not additive.  If you buy Qimage Ultimate and after the first year of included upgrades, you skip three years because you don't need the features being offered at that time and then you see something you want/need and decide to upgrade, you still pay just the one ($19.99) upgrade fee for a year of upgrades.  Simply put, that upgrade fee buys registered users a year of unlimited upgrades no matter when you pay for it.

Regards,
Mike
